The SUCK: any situation where conditions are undesirable, a testament to the dedication of those who endure it.
Created by Guinness World Record Holder, 2x Spartan Death Race Winner and Gut Check Fitness Founder, Joe Decker, each SUCK event consists of many hours of individual fitness challenges consisting of miles of trail running, carrying heavy objects, military calisthenics plus strongman lifts and much more. Even though the SUCK is extremely challenging the end goal is empowerment for every participant. From Joe, "We are not there to crush you but to motivate you. We all have weaknesses and you'll find them out there in the woods around 2 AM in the morning. Recognize them then adapt and overcome. Come join us at one of the voted "Most Extreme Fitness Tests in the World“."
The SUCK Showdown Under is open to anyone that feels they have the right stuff and certainly an incredible opportunity for finishers of the regional 12 Hour SUCK events to come together to find out just who is the fittest. Even though it's a competition, the primary goal is to have fun, motivate one another to finish and ultimately define your own limits by going beyond them. Do you think you have what it takes to EMBRACE THE SUCK?!
All finishers that complete all the mandatory tasks will receive a one of a kind award. This can not be purchased and must be earned. In addition, you will be added to the list of those that have officially "EMBRACED THE SUCK."
